About Paramonga

The oldest written records of the site are from the Spanish colonial period by chroniclers, Spanish soldiers, priests and other literate men who accompanied Hernando Pizarro on the conquest of the Tawantinsuyu. Important among them was Miguel de Miguel de Estete, who was called the "chronicler soldier." Accompanying Pizarro, in 1532 he traveled by the Able Ñan (dirt road) along the coast to Cajamarca to receive the gold for the rescue of the Atahualpa Inca
